The Orange Tree Inn stands at the junction of St Nicholas’ Street and King Street, top of Bridge Street. Originally called The Apple Tree, the Inn stood behind the old St Nicholas’ Church until 1841 and is one of the oldest pubs in Hereford.

One of my favourite haunts around Hereford City and was good to see it being restored and opening soon....

Founded before 1246 and dissolved 1538. Major part of Monastery, including church, was destroyed after Dissolution.

1322 Friary begun after endless quarrels with
Cathedral Chapter. Only surviving part of Friary is the range west of
cloister. At Dissolution it passed to the Scudamores, and then to the
Coningsbys (who built house on site)

A geophysical survey carried out in 1994 demonstrated
the existence of many features within the ornamental gardens between
the upstanding ruins and the Hospital, some of which will be associated
with the monastic use of the area.
